I frankly don't know. Maybe it's just one faulty controller, connector or whatever. Maybe the card manufacturer screwed up somewhere. I mean, the only course I took in electronics is introductory digital circuits which used 74xx chips and push triggered clock on a breadboard. What would I know about gigahertz signaling error. :-p Though, one thing I can say is majority of 311x controllers don't seem to suffer from this problem. So, take your pick. -- tejun - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
